F.A.Q.

FWTLogstat2 use examples

The following examples of the use of FWTLogstat2 were made with a specially prepared log file consisting of only a handful of pages and pictures repeating over two months. To illustrate FWTLogstat2's handling of directories, two sub-directories were added: the "blog" sub-directory tries to represent a typical blog with dynamic requests (i.e., using a query string). The "books" sub-directory, instead, is a straight one. Half of the requests made against this fictitious site were unsuccessful, that is, they were either not found or redirected to another site.

The sample outputs are presented after the command line that produces them. However, the same results can be obtained using the GUI (graphical user interface). After the first example, the summary that precedes each and every report is omitted.
